Wednesday Workings, March 26, 2025

 

Thought to share the cross stamped stitchery that I was working on in the evenings.  I am working on the Platypus right now.  This project has no particular individual in mind.  

I got done with Peeps.  I decided not to wait on fabric to arrive from ETSY shops when I had what I thought I didn't in my stash.  This project 90% from my stash.  I wasn't sure about adding the dark purple 30's reproduction, but it seems to work out fine.  Any help out their for a "K" name for Peeps?

I am working on Koxcomb; along with Orange Crush.  None of these are UFO.  I am trying to get ahead of the UFO List.  Happy Wednesday =^.^=

Design Wall Monday, March 24, 2025

Friday while at Rosie's I started cutting out the parts for Peeps.  This will make into a nice Spring table runner.  I need one more 30's Reproduction fabric for the last chick.  I had hoped to find enough fabric at Rosie's but nothing quite seemed to work.  I have some ETSY purchases for Millie's Dresses coming in this week and plan to use some one of the fabrics to complete the recipe for Peeps.

Also at Rosie's I started working on Koxcomb.  Look at all the tiny HSTs!  I'm still a beginner with wool which is what this project is all about.  Threads are available.  Will start on what I know best...cotton HSTs using foundation paper.

This week I am waiting for ETSY fabrics to arrive from four different shops.  A red for Orange Crush, and five from three different shops for Millie's Dresses.  Millie's Dresses will be a swap project, right now with three others.  There is a possibility the number of participants could grow as the project is open to Sunshine members attending the May retreat.  We will be swapping dress, collar, and belt units along with a matching fabric to make part of the border.  There will be more on this project soon.  For now I have enough to keep me in stitches =^.^=  Happy Monday

Sunday Stash Report, March 23, 2025

This came on Monday!  So excited to get Krakow back from Kerry.  There are two more mysteries in the quilting queue along with Grandma Alice's two stitchery projects.  I know one of the two stitchery projects is next to quilt.  Back to Krakow though...I worked on the binding all week and just finished a few hours ago.

This 2025 UFO is finished =^.^=

This week I did have two adds.  The purple was purchased at Rosie's for the Spring table runner that I will share with you tomorrow called Peeps by Pieces From My Heart.  The orange one is from Coffee Patch Fabrics (ETSY).  It will be used for Orange Crush that is Bonnie Hunter's Mystery II.  I am still waiting on more of the red to arrive before I will have all that I need for this project.

Here is what I am working with so far.  More blues will come into the mix once I hunt through my 2" strips or create more :)  The neutrals are easy.  These are the ones that are cut at 2" already that will be the first to use.  The first units to be made are four patches with 2" units of neutral and blues.

Happily I finished my Idiom Challenge project this week.  I am sewing the back together today.  On Tuesday it will be on its way to Kerry for quilting.  Nothing purchased for this project YEAH!
